Background[]
The routine takes place in the Ophidian Temple.[4] The Temple is formed by white and gold structures, a salmon to light pink gradient background behind them, gold giant snakes and a circular shiny platform where the coaches stand which has several rings and patterns, and works as an elevator to transition between different sceneries.
The routine starts with the platform moving up surrounded by white and gold towers. The patterns on the platform light up in yellow to the beat of the song. This keeps happening throughout the song, but in different colors. As the verse starts, the platform flashes pink and reaches a stage with white and gold towers in the back, and floating white hexagonal panels around the platform; half of them have two pink hexagonal lines and change color to the beat of the song, the other half are bigger, their lines are gold and over them are gold sculptures of cobra heads surrounded by white decorations which flash pink to the song beats. As the pre-chorus starts, the platform ascends and keeps doing it until the chorus; now it flashes purple. It is a similar scenery as the last one, but the hexagonal panels are wrapped by gold snakes. Other panels are only white and have decorations over them which flash purple. Behind them, there are tall white and gold towers with gold snakes surrounding them.
When the chorus starts, a glitch effect covers the entire background. The platform flashes green. There are similar panels to the previous ones merged to the floor, but these are rhombus shaped and their lines are green. More of them float over the gradient background, which flashes dark indigo to the song beat. There is an arrangement of gold snake statues and two white and gold structures behind the ground panels.
During the bridge, the far background changes to a black to brown gradient, the platform flashes yellow, and around it are black hexagonal panels, black towers with gold decorations and windows which glow and dim down to the beats of the song, and a giant black snake that slithers through the towers. Before the bridge ends, it can be seen for a second that the snake has glowing red eyes. The last chorus starts without a glitch effect, and ends with the background dimming down.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Black Mamba and Jopping are the nineteenth and twentieth Korean-language songs in the main series.
- Black Mamba and Jopping were the third and fourth Korean-language songs to be announced for Just Dance 2022, after Boombayah and Pop/Stars.
- The code name for Black Mamba is spelled "BlackMam", which may be due to Let Me Love You already using "BlackMamba" as its code name.[5]
- In the preview gameplay, the lyrics and pictogram bar were red instead of aquamarine green.
Routine[]
- Black Mamba, Boombayah, Jopping, and Pop/Stars are the third through sixth Classic routines to have an Extreme difficulty rating, after Part of Me and Drum Go Dum.
- Black Mamba and Jopping are the first two Trio routines to be rated Extreme for difficulty.
- The coaches are named after the three Gorgons, who are three sisters from Greek mythology born from the sea gods Phorcys and Ceto.[3]
- The routine uses moves from the official choreography.
- According to a "Behind the Map" tweet from Just Dance’s official account, the visual design is inspired from the music video.[4]
- In the pictogram for Medusa’s Gold Move 1, the glow is overlapped between Medusa and Euryale’ bodies.
- In the preview, during the verse where Stheno and Medusa switch places, five pictograms mistakenly had Stheno and Medusa’s colors switched. This was fixed before the release of Just Dance 2022.
- The coaches’ outlines were originally planned to be blue, as shown in the preview gameplay, but they were changed to pink in the final game.
- Additionally, the pink outlines in the final game are less pronounced than the blue outlines in the preview video.
